Concept
of the project"Psychogeographic exploration" is a practice that
rediscovers the physical city through the moods and atmospheres that act
upon the individual. Perhaps the most prominent characteristic of
psychogeography is the activity of WALKING. The act of walking could be
become a subversive and political act. The exploration takes place alone
or with others participants in an emblematic district of the city. For this exhibitionI will usea spatial

The French conceptual artist of Algerian descent, Youssef Tabti, was born in Paris in 1968, where he also studied art and art history. He has been living and working in Hamburg since 1994, and has participated internationally in exhibitions in Murcia, Basel, Istanbul, Marseilles, and other cities. Tabti works in a wide range of media, extending from sound and video installations to photography and spatial installations. He employs methods of mapping, documenting, and archiving as research tools, critically analyzing and reflecting socio-political issues in post-colonial environments, urban settings, and shifting societies. For his presentation at the Kunsthalle LAB in Bratislava, he conceived the collective Project Petrzalka. Realized in collaboration with local citizens, it is comprised of a soundscape, visual mappings, and photographic images documenting the participants’ “psychogeographic” routes through the city’s largest and most diverse borough, including the artist’s own observations in the area. The spontaneous, intuitive wanderings through various parts of Petržalka, driven solely by the participants’ subjective feelings, whims, and inclinations, which served as the basis for Tabti’s installation, bring together inside and outside perceptions of the given topography in a multi-voiced scenario, revealing unexpected aspects of the familiar.
